Fast Dial on My BlackBerry Bold 9000. Awesome!
jmarkybb Sat, 12/13/2008 - 14:36
First of all I would like to thank all the people of my two favourite most outstanding & informative forums including Telega, Chiaroscuro, Mafia_Penguin, Macleod.Mac, MafiOz, sjdvda, of Userlogos.org & Peter Wilson, Andrew Uy of BerryTastic.com Whom I am never likely to meet, Most of whom I don't know their real names but with thanks to their knowledge and the wonderfull free software Mozilla FF, FastDial, Gimp, BlackBerry and Berrytastic.com. I am indebted to you all for giving me the technology, knowledge and most importantly your time and patience,with out these above attributes of the afore mentioned people FastDial on my BlackBerry Bold 9000 would not be possible.
Now then, how will this be possible? Well with Jonathan Fisher's Shortcut Hub Utility and Macleod.mac's logo for Berrytastic.com plus any more visual bookmarks that you and I might need whilst away from our laptops/PC's and a bit of wizardry in Gimp (still working on this). I have got to learn how to use Gimp, to re-configure all my logos to 32x32.
I am going to be able to give each website its own folder, visual bookmarks for the BlackBerry Bold, or VB. Fast Dial replaces blank tabs with a panel of thumbnails of your favourite sites.
This has been posted on the Userlogos Forum and I will be telling them the same about this post, thus generating more traffic, i.e. more new fresh ideas from the Bowden Files.
Stay tuned for screenshots of the finished project...
Editor's note** The Webshortcuts app was originally written for devices running OS 4.2 only. The author, Jonathan Fisher is currently re-writing the code to accomodate updated devices. Mr. Fisher will give BerryTastic.com the exclusive first looks at his very useful applications for BlackBerry in the near future

anyone got an iphone?
would be awesome to have a fast-dial like page on one of those..
instead of logos, maybe 32px x 32px favicons (web 2.0 style ofcourse)

Re: Fast Dial on My iPod touch. Awesome!
Submitted by sjdvda on Sat, 12/27/2008 - 03:04I have an iPod touch and I already have a page I Call "iFast Dial" With all the web shortcuts I need.
The ability to add any webpage to the home screen is really cool, the only problem is that some webpages do not have an "apple-touch-icon" (a.k.a. WebClip) icon. For example, if I bookmark my blog, I get the icon because I have added it, but if I bookmark UserLogos, I get a thumbnail. The only way to get only the logo is to zoom in on it and then add to the home screen, but this doesn't always work as some sites have logos that are surrounded by other objects. Then I have to access the system and manually edit the logos, I normally use logos from here as source (I had to jailbreak my iPod to do that, I hope the 2g iPod touch jailbreak comes soon mafi0z!!) .

You may notice that there are most of the icons in my Space Dial theme.
